My horsey has outgrown her saddle and she needs a new one - she is awkward to fit as she is arab x QH.

I have become a little bit disillusioned with my current saddler, so want to find a new one, which will travel to where I live in Sussex. I also work full time, so need a saddler who can come out weekends or even evenings.

I know that buying a saddle through a saddler is more expensive, but if possible would like a someone who doesn't hugely overprice everything

Anyone know anyone?
 
Depending on where you are in Sussex, there is also Martin at Penfolds Saddlery, Cuckfield. They have a huge range of saddles new and second hand.
 
Another vote for Martin at Penfolds. He will also come out at weekends. He is normally booked up for about 3 months in advance but he is really knowledgable
 
martin at penfolds! my mare is awkward to fit, but now my saddle is lovely. only used him the once but he was very good. how he can be quite expensive depending on where you are so if possible i would try and get someone else to have him to split the call out.
 
Andrew Reilly is a great saddle-fitter but doesn't sell them. He's also very hard to get hold of and usually has a long wait time.

I use Richard at Dragonfly in Hassocks - quick, friendly, and very good. Have used him for years for my old boy, and he has just saddled my new horse who is very hard to fit and done it perfectly.
 
Another vote for Richard at Dragonfly, he was fantastic with me and my new horse and made sure she was happy with her saddle - she can be tempramental hence making sure she was ok with saddle.
